Qu was slandered and he committed suicide by drowning himself in the Mi River. People were grieved about Qu's death and they were worried that fished in the river would eat up Qu's body, then they came up an idea that to throw some rice dumplings, which is a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, into the river so that fishes would not hurt Qu.
